Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Once more, I used an iMovie template. Since these trailer templates are so fast-paced and require extremely short clips, I think the next one will not be based on one of the canned templates. Until I edited these trailers, I never realized how much context our brain needs to properly compute a kite trick...Enjoy!

You caught me in the act, Ara The camera carrier was actually none of the kites shown in the vids, but my trusty Widow Maker Standard. In reasonably high winds (10+ knots), she is amazingly little impacted by the added weight. She can even be tricked. That is much harder to watch, though: http://www.gwtwforum.com/index.php?topic=8176.0 I also tried my Talon Vented, but it was much more affected by the weight and pretty hard to keep steady.

The camera is a Kodak Playsport ZX5. It is waterproof without a separate case and can take quite a beating:

The camera was attached close to the center-T (i.e., center of gravity) with velcro cable ties. To prevent frustration and hectic activity in case the velcro gives above water, I attached a floating strap to the camera and also slipped it over a standoff. I attached a display protector screen I had sitting around before the first flight. Glad I did, because the protector is badly scratched after about 20 flights total.

The Playsport delivers reasonable quality at the price, but the low-light performance is mediocre. Even my iPhone 4 is much better in that department -- but then, I would not strap it to a kite just like that.

Looks like I should be consulting you for the wording in my next project. You got a couple of creative ideas here.

Where is Scottshead, by the way? My wife is a big time fan of Aussieland...

JayDee,surely your government intel sources can inform you about the whereabouts of Alien and this elusive Scottshead? All you need to do is pull some strings.And if you dont post a new video soon, a kite loaded with 10000lbs of TNT will be ignited then launched from an unknown location from our friends in North Korea and if the winds are favourable it may get airborne but either way many people will be saddened by the loss of the kite and our pathetic attempt at threatening the free world!Its now your move agent JayDee,if thats your real name?DONT MAKE THEIR FACES EVEN MORE RED THAN THEY NEED BE,or you will be sorry!The kite world is now watching,what will you do next so-called agent JD?You Americanos and your great kites think you can have all the fun to yourselves,but this......shall be......NO...MORE!
